Shippey Registration Policy

---

 If, for whatever reason beyond our control causes us to the cancellation of this event, it is possible that you will receive no refund of your entry fee. 

We will, however, consider options to issue refunds or make other compensation to the extent funds are available to do so.

The circumstances that could cause a race cancellation are not predictable. Cancellations could potentially occur for a multitude of reasons possibly including: when there is a serious threat to the safety of runners and volunteers such as forest fires, severe winter weather, tornadoes, or in the event of a national emergency or possible illness epidemics(i.e COVID). These particular events can generally occur with little advance notice.

As race organizers, we are at the mercy of these events. Hosting such events is costly because we provide quality support, apparel, and awards. Much of this is paid for well in advance of the actual event taking place due to supply and shipment requirements. 

We cannot absorb all of these costs and take the risk of cancellation by ourselves. With this in mind entrants take the risk of knowing our policy and must share in the risk that it could be canceled. 

Please understand this when you enter our event.

What you can expect from us in the event of a change or cancellation should be imminent.

• Timely Information: We will try to keep entrants informed when there is a potential for cancellation. We will likely use email, Facebook, Instagram and our website to do this.
• Reimbursement: In the event that a race is canceled, we cannot promise any refund. Our first priority is to pay all outstanding bills associated with the event that we cannot cancel or legally avoid. After all bills are paid we will consider any funds, if any, and look at possibility of any refund potential to runners. Please note, the closer the cancellation is to the race date, the less likely there will be any reimbursement and if a race is stopped while in progress, there will be no reimbursement. If the amount of the refund is small, we may not bother with it, or we may only give credit toward future entry fees.
• Rescheduling: Rescheduling the event is unlikely given the complexity of putting on an ultra or trail run, and that there are other events scheduled for other weekends, but may be done on a case by case basis. If we do reschedule, we will not likely be able to give you a refund if you withdraw from the event.
